Hello, Bonjour, Ciao!

Global Leadership Summits

Immersive tour + leadership conference

These extraordinary events combine educational tours and a two-day leadership conference, tackling significant global issues in places where they come to life.

You and your students learn from experts such as Al Gore, Jane Goodall, and Sir Ken Robinson, and U.S. and local students work together to design and present their own solutions to the issue. Each Summit empowers your students today to start becoming leaders of tomorrow.

AN EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIP

EF Education First & The Nobel Museum

There is no such thing as a typical Nobel Prize winner. In fact, there could be a future Nobel Prize winner sitting in your classroom. They just need to be inspired. Our collaboration with the Nobel Museum aims to do precisely that.

At every Global Leadership Summit, we will challenge your students to produce innovative ideas around the topic at hand. Working within a collaborative environment, teams will create a project that best exemplifies their mission. The winning project will be featured in the Nobel Museum, right along other Nobel Prize winners in Stockholm, Sweden.

We invite you to learn more about this partnership and download our inspiring e-book that shares the stories of 10 Nobel Prize winners.
